In a video on TikTok by @giftwogu, she listed some of her experiences as she opened up about her battle with impostor syndrome
She wrote:
“I’m a Nigerian who moved from the UK to Canada as a permanent resident and I’m not afraid to admit that. Sometimes I wish I could move back to Nigeria, but life had other plans. I miss my family terribly. Imposter syndrome is real, and moving abroad makes those feelings worse. I worry I’m not doing enough for my age, especially when comparing myself to others.
“Since moving, I’ve become quieter, observing my surroundings before being myself. Honestly, I’m still figuring out my life, and that uncertainty can be scary. I even miss the UK sometimes, where I made memories and felt a sense of familiarity. It’s okay to not have it all together, and I’m working on being kinder to myself.”
She added in the comments:
“I like it here. I have a good job, working with my degree, I have a family and my friends are here. Of course I miss the UK, but Canada is better for my career. Do your research before you move.”
